With daily life uprooted for many people due to the coronavirus pandemic, local charities and volunteers have been overwhelmed by the large number of people who suddenly need help in metro Atlanta.
Yet, there’s no shortage of organizations trying to do their part, especially in the Atlanta area.
Lisa Baker, a volunteer with the Food4Life Atlanta Survival Program, said she’s encouraged by the number of people who are volunteering their time to help. “The first couple of days, I kept hitting refresh on our database, and it was kinda scary watching how many volunteers signed up,” she said. “We have more than 900.”
